I remember so many years ago there was actually nothing on.
Static.
 
Ok since Frank didn't take first I will!!
Good Morning from the Midwest with a balmy 55 out there right now...
 
Nice and warm here yesterday, 40 now on this Sunday morning.
 
Ok now for the update on my day...

The youngest kid is moving out to go live with his mother in NC...

He was going to leave this morning, but we had a few obstacles thrown at us...

First, we loaded his motorcycles on the old snowmobile trailer that my brother had from when we were in high school and gave to my son... But the hold downs that he installed in the original wood floor started pulling up the floor... There were holes on the side rail of the trailer in the back that we were able to use, but none in the front for us to use... So we had to go across town to the good Ace Hardware store and get some 1/2" eyelits for the front to use for the tie down straps...

Here it is after drilling the holes to mount the eyelets on the side...

In addition, there were no safety chain mounts on the trailer, so we bought some 1/2" eyelets with longer studs to go through the main square bar at the front of the trailer...

Here it is all loaded with his motorcycles and some spare tires, seat for working on them, and a gas can...

Good job super Dad, hope all goes well for your son, he sure has some nice old Honda's
 
Good morning Zman, I am hoping my lower back is ok, sore this morning, up and down and leaning in over the fender yesterday, never thought I would be wrestling headers at 60 years old :lol:
I know how you feel. I was under the car for awhile yesterday, putting those front seats back in the Barracuda. Those floor bolts fought us the whole way.
 
I did some work on my console yesterday also , @cosgig fixed me up with a correct for 66 console

This afternoon we're putting the new wiring harness in. This morning I need to clean up the firewalls and maybe some touch up paint here and there..

I will have some touching up to do after these headers are in and the 360 is in place

I have lowered and lifted the 360 in and out 3 times, now I think I have it ready to stay, but I do have to look at where I want the brake line ran, all fun and games for now, we will see :lol:

That's good a big thing to pull and put in. Sure it got to be like a pit crew the last time you did it.

When i repowered the ‘59 everything in/out 4 times at least.
Im sure barracuda will be the same.
 
Thats looking great!
Thank you TJ, I have been on my own on this part, I hope my brother comes for a visit today :) I could use another set of eyes and hands lowering the engine in, , I am sure you know I have to lower it a half inch at a time as the headers get attached
 
Wish the barracuda was in the shop.
Next weekend i guess. Get the underside cleaned up and weld frame connectors to the floor. Add brackets to stiffen seat
Mounts. Then rebuild rear foot of framerails.
